Little Hydrant Man

Little Hydrant Man

 

At the corner of busy streets

He is silent most every day

But when he gets to speak

Words he proudly sprays

 

Always ready to speak his mind

He’s pressured some to yell

And trucks pull up next to him

To fill their giant pails

 

He is the fountainhead

And gushes all he can

With water all down the street

From the expressive little man

 

He is a man red or silver

Determined to stop all flames

With a fireman’s giant wrench

The tool that always drains

 

After all the excitement

The little man can recline

With the quiet restored again

Until the fire next time
